Encouraging early voting
With the expected increased turnout for the presidential and vice presidential races, as well as other key items on the ballot, Potter County Elections Administrator Christy Benge stressed the importance of voting early, highlighting it as the best way to avoid long lines and potential delays on Election Day. “Vote early. If you wait until Election Day to vote, you’re going to have a problem. You’re going to stand in line, and if you’re like me and have zero patience for people in general, you’re going to have a problem,” she said, emphasizing that Election Day can be chaotic with many voters trying to cast their ballots at the last minute.
